i used tux's 214 for a while on my old lappy .but as a distro hopper/derivative hopper i tried this lil gem it works well on a p1@300 mhz w/96 megs ram-face book even loads -although takes almost a full 5 min..--lol//wifi worked on a linksis wpc11 ver4 otb

Try the Tint2 version. It's a little bit bigger at 97MB, but you get more bang for the buck. ( zero bucks..lol) Icewm is still included. You can disable wbar to decrease cpu usage. ( the link for it is in the /root/Startup folder)

Only thing that bugs me is xlock will not work from the desktop 'lock' button or PupControl>Desktop>Xlock>. Although It will run from gExec from PupControl>Install>Run Program i'm not experienced enough to fix it. There seems to be something missing. I read somewhere on the forum there needs to be a file(s) in /usr/local/apps/xlock/local directory, but it is empty.

Can I copy anything from a Luci 5.2.5 save file to make this work as intended or what do you suggest?

JackWagon,

Wary Tiny was more of a quick, fun project that I created in a 2-day period. If you want to copy the xlcock files over, I would copy it from the original Wary Puppy or a puplet based on it. I don't really use Wary Tiny these days. SolidPup 5.1.1-Tint2 version is based on the same thing Wary Tiny is based on. If you aren't accustomed to the minimalist style of Tint2, you can switch to IceWM from the menu.
( for Tint2 version, right-click on the desktop to bring up the menu )
It is 16Mb larger, but it comes with more apps, bugfixes and is more up-to-date. It should run fine on your computer. A linux swap file is recommended if you have low RAM. If you want to reduce CPU/RAM usage, disable wbar and CPUTemp by removing them from the /root/Startup folder.

For older computers, I would favour SolidPup and Akita.
For newer ones... Exprimo, Saluki, Slacko or Lucid.

how can i click on hyperlinks in abiword and have firefox open automatically... currently, when i click or double click on hyperlinks nothing happens...

also, i would like to set a smaller size for the rox window when first opened... can i do it? currently, it opens quite wide when only 4 or 5 files are present, but expands nicely when 15 or 20 files exist... i know how to make some adjustments to the pinboard...

I should be concentrating on something else, but it seems that spending roughly a year and a half of my life using Puppy and this forum has created a habit and I keep coming back here over and over, whenever I get bored.

For the record, I stopped developing, and don't plan to do so again for a long time, if ever. It all depends on how good a bash scripter and C programmer I become in the future. And it will depend on my motivation as well. The puplets I've made are no longer maintained.

I don't have Wary Tiny installed, but I believe if you open Rox-Filer, right-click inside a Rox-Filer window, choose:

options --> Tools/Minibuffer

and uncheck the box that says "Width of toolbar sets the minimum size of window" , you should get a smaller Rox-Filer window, when few items are displayed.

About Abiword; I did notice that there is an option to insert a hyperlink, but the letters were grayed-out and I was not able to use that option.
I must confess, that I don't really use Abiword, so maybe if you post the question in the Howto section of this forum, someone else who is more familiar with it may help you.
It should apply to Abiword and all other pups and not specifically for just Wary Tiny.

Have d/l wary tiny 5.1.1, from it created a folder for trying to frugally booting it up in a VAIO as I do other puppies & put all the iso files in a cfcard (128 MB) ext2 for trying to boot an HPCompaq nx9010. Well, the boot loader is working because I see the menu screen for selecting the option I want to use. The problem is that if I select 'command line only' or 'normal' the computer freezes; if I select 'pristine' the computer reboots.

The HP tells me it's trying (hdo,0) & others, the VAIO identifies it as sdb1. This HP has no hdd & I'm almost sure 256 MB of RAM. Since it has no cfcard port I'm using a usb adapter for it. Two days ago I was booting PL431 installed in the cfcard but there's too little space left & need enough to put a current browser there. Tried the remastering scheme with PL431 but didn't work & I didn't understand the process enough to lower the space required for it enough.

Have been playing in/with wary tiny for a couple of hours now. Yes, it booted the HP. I didn't do anything. Instead of selecting as all the previous times I took my time reading slowly everything &, apparently, it took the default route...

My only issue with it is that Dillo browser. I need a browser that can play youtube videos & play my favorite radio stations. Dillo is very NON-permissive with cookies which is another thing that seems to get in the way, workable but in the way...

Nevertheless, I'm not planning to take anything from it in order to make more room for adding anything, yet, because in the repository there was not a recent FF version available. This last issue makes me ask if there's a pet file or something that could make my day?

Also Terryphi regularily updates Opera, which is also compatible, although there may be problems with Opera and flashplayer...Firefox is my favourite browser. Although Chrome is a bit faster, I stick with Firefox becuase of the plugins.
